    Hmmm..... I want to go on record as saying, that I am not in favor of a
    moo client, that just does MOO stuff, like editing.... On the other hand
    a plug-in to Netscape that allows you to run a telnet in a separate frame
    or window, is not in my opinion a bad idea, even if the design of the two
    programs is incompatible at some level. It seems to me, that a Telnet
    session could be run on one socket, and a netscape application on a number
    of others, resulting in completely different applications running in a
    simultaneous manner. But then, I don't know what is going on INSIDE
    netscape. :)
